I was checking out these knives: http://www.ragweedforge.com/eka-catalog.html
What do you think of the w11 and the H8? The look good.

I've always liked the shape of the EKA W11 handle, with the checkering on the bottom and its single-finger groove. I suspect it would be a real comfortable knife to use long-term.
The show-stopper for me has been the price, since I tend to view puukko blades as cheap knives (about $50 or less). YMMV.

id get the bigger one, and put some blueing on it to help stop rust in the bush. it looks very well made and sharp!

just saw there made of stainless. look for a diffrent knife, unless you really like stainless, or you plan on most of your time being in very wet enviorments..
I use my W11 almost every week since I got it.
Choose it instead of the H8 because it's got a slightly larger handle which fit my hand better.
